Chapter 6, Additional Exercise 3: Selecting Research Techniques

You are planning to do a research report on whether local employers think that your school's recent graduates in your major are competent in the kinds of computer skills used in the workplace. Which research techniques will enable you to gather the most appropriate data for your study? For each technique, write a brief paragraph explaining the kind of information it will yield. Present your findings in a brief memo to your instructor. (See Chapter 14 for a discussion of memos.)
